OVERVIEW

Our mission at Sonrise Christian School is “to create an environment in which children can experience the love of Jesus as they grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and people.” So, what does is mean to “Grow in the Son”? It means that Sonrise Christian School feels like home: a safe place where students are dearly loved and growing both spiritually and academically. It means that Sonrise teachers and staff are a close community, wholly invested in the growth, character and wellbeing of all students. It means that Sonrise students are equipped for success with Christ-centered curriculum, cutting-edge technology, and enrichment opportunities. Our mission at Sonrise means that students have every opportunity to grow to their fullest potential, excelling in school and in life.

CURRICULUM

The goals of our educational program are to enable our students to discover truth, develop a Christ-like character and a personal relationship with God. In an effort to ensure a curriculum of excellence, Sonrise chooses to use a variety of publishers, both Christian and secular, to accomplish that goal. Textbooks are carefully and prayerfully chosen by a team of teachers and principals. A textbook is used only after it has shown its academic value and appropriateness in regards to our conservative Christian heritage. Secular texts are always taught from a biblical perspective, giving a teacher the chance to teach the students how to discern truth from error. Some of our publishers include: Saxon, Spalding, ACSI, McMillan-McGraw Hill, ABeka, SRA-McGraw Hill, Harcourt-Brace, and Harding University.
